The Alphas Concubine (Love Slaves of the Alphas 2)

need a weapon to defend his mate—his teeth and claws would be more than enough if he shifted. But

with men like the Rogers, a show of force was important. For now though, he would agree. Nikolai stuffed his voluminous pants legs into the tops of his boots, and looked down at himself.

He thought he looked a little like the ancient, swashbuckling pirates himself. All he needed was a tricornered pirate hat to complete his look. He stuck the little dagger his prince handed him into his boot

and stood up to offer Jagger his arm.

Jagger looked him up and down approvingly. “You look quite dashing in this outfit, Niki. When

we get back to the palace, it will be my pleasure to strip it off you. ”

Nikolai felt his cock fill out. He’d always been the dominant partner in his relationships up to

now, and it was odd but thrilling to have his little prince be so bo

ld and flirtatious with him. He was

a little embarrassed to feel a blush staining his cheeks, and Jagger laughed and put a proprietary hand

over the tenting in his pants. He leaned in and gave Nikolai a quick kiss, and it took a great effort for

Nikolai to resist taking Jagger to the floor.

Instead he straightened his back as Jagger took his arm and escorted his mate to the transport that

awaited them outside. Ten of Jagger’s best men accompanied them on their journey, and they rode in

the transports behind them. Not enough to defend their prince from any real attack, but Nikolai

doubted the Nilaniums would try anything at this point. They’d asked for a parley, and that’s what

they were getting. If anyone tried to touch his mate, he wouldn’t live to tell the tale. In a little under an hour, they reached their destination. The pirates’ stronghold was a jumble of

metal buildings, behind what was probably an electrified fence. A guard at the gate swung it wide for

them as they approached and parked outside the largest building. Jagger jumped out as soon as they

came to a stop and waited for his men to gather around him. He was frowning and biting his lower

lip, looking around them nervously. Nikolai touched his shoulder and he relaxed a bit, smiling over at

him. “I’m all right. Just a little anxious. ”

Nikolai nodded. “I’m right behind you, Princeling. ”

“Good,” Jagger said and reached behind him to squeeze Nikolai’s arm. He squared his

shoulders and motioned for his men to follow him to the front door. The interior was dim and cool.

Nikolai’s senses were on high alert, and he could smell the Nilaniums ahead about a hundred yards. Jagger walked unflinchingly ahead of them, and Nikolai once again felt pride in his brave little mate. He just hoped it was bravery and not foolhardiness, and he wouldn’t have to kill every Roger in the

building to protect him.

They rounded a corner in the long corridor and came to an open door with the Rogers within. It

was a throne room, of sorts, with a large chair sitting at the back wall, and a long table on either side

of it. Lounging at the tables was a motley crew of Nilaniums, all armed to the teeth and glaring
